6.5mm 140 grain 268" diameter bullets

[GunsNotPuns]

I have been stymied in my attempt to find 6.5mm bullets with a .268 diameter -- whether cast or jacketed. Hornady stopped making that diameter a while back and the PPU bullet in that diameter is non-existent.

Weirdly, it's difficult to find even cast bullets with that diameter. Moulds in that size aren't common and no one sells the bullets. Am I the only one who wants to load 6.5mm Carcano with .268" bullets?

HighWood Casting lists hard cast 0.269" on their website

Woodleigh used to make a few weights in that diameter. Don't know of they'll be in the mix when they're back running at 100% or not, but might be worth a check. I have a few oddball diameter rifles and they have been a problem solver for me. - dan
